Learn the difference between being funny and being bastos.
Vice Ganda knows his limitations. NEVER sya nambastos ng tao kahit pa nagjojoke sya.
How about Joey De Leon? The way he said na masarap kasama si pia kasi laging kita legs? That's not a joke anymore. Nambabastos ka na. https://t.co/23GPeOPOQa

Just recently, Pres. Rodrigo Duterte signed the ‘Bawal Bastos’ law or the Republic Act 11313 (Safe Streets and Public Spaces Act) which aims to punish catcalling and other gender-based harassment in public spaces and online.
According to the Safe Spaces Act, actions or deeds considered as gender-based sexual harassment committed through unwanted and uninvited sexual actions or remarks against any person, regardless of the motive will be considered as crimes. These acts include catcalling; wolf-whistling; unwanted invitations; misogynistic, transphobic, homophobic and sexist slurs; persistent uninvited comments or gestures on a person’s appearance; relentless requests for personal details; statement of sexual comments and suggestions; public masturbation or flashing of private parts, groping, or any unwanted advances.
